Battery Life S22

[Mezzz]

I'm really disappointed in the battery life of the S22 ultra

It doesn't even last a day

I have checked all the settings

Have dark mode on

Power is optimised but still losing battery life really quickly and I've only had the phone a week!

Best to keep everything Adaptive or Auto.
It's a Smart Phone let it do its thing.

I'd say use it to It's full potential.

And as stated end of the day post your battery usage. So we know which apps are draining your battery.

Battery drainers are:

If you use high brightness.
Locations for apps ( if always ON)
Poor network signal.
Social media apps that involve unlimited scrolling.

Permissions manager is your friend for taming location Permissions which you don't need all the time.

Also apps using data in the background.

Happy days.

You'd want to aim for an hour of SoT per 10%

With WiFi only I can manage 6+ hours of SoT but with Data and Bluetooth on throughout the day it will be more like 4 maybe 5hs total

Using an hour of YT music and Bluetooth on my commute burns down 11% of the battery which I think it's quite high considering other devices.

You'll find a lot of users saying they're getting 7+ hours but that's them mostly watching video or browsing Facebook. Watching video inflates SoT massively since watching video doesn't really take as much battery as having the screen off and listening to music.

Sometimes it seems like it's better to watch a video with data and Bluetooth headphones than listening to music with screen off because I end up loosing the same amount of battery regardless which is really weird...

Hello @MadalinK are you talking about S22 Ultra and what they changed im using exynos 2200 not good battery life I'm using from past 4 days I'm also thinking to return can you help me regarding this

Hi ! Yes that's right, I'm using the S22 Ultra. The only thing that I did was turn on the Power Saving option.
But it varies, some days I get almost 7 hours of screen on time, others about 5 hours.

My S22's battery life is atrocious- comparable to phones I had in the early 2000s. Going to swop it for an iPhone - bye bye Samsung sheisters, absolute sh...
